在信心中, 人心是最重要的, 那些以一顆清純的心向社會的改進和諧地前進的人, 將在其生命中燦爛地閃耀一道美與希望的彩虹.

In faith, one's heart is of utmost importance.
A rainbow of beauty and hope shines splendidly in the lives of people who advance harmoniously for the betterment of society with a pure heart.

今日指導 八月三日

若你失去了清純的心而養成慢心與醜陋的野心.
那麼無論你表面上多麼勤勵於信心, 你絕不能享受到御本尊的功德.
因此, 當你為貴國奮鬥時, 我希望你能保持一顆青純的心而滿懷信心地渡過你最寶貴的人生.

Should you lose your pure, innocent heart, and instead develop arrogance and ugly ambition within yourself, no matter how much you may appear devoted to faith on the surface, you will never enjoy the benefits of the Gohonzon.

在人生中擁有一位師匠, 是幸福與大喜悅的泉源.
師弟之間的深厚關係不易為他人所了解.
縱然自己察覺不到, 但當你自豪地追尋自己所選擇的師弟之道時, 美與高尚的情操當自你生命深處發出光芒.

In life, having a master is a source of happiness and great joy.
The deep relationship between master and disciple is not readily understandable to others.
Although unnoticed, when you pursue and proudly carry on in the way of master and disciple which you have chosen, beauty and nobleness will radiate from the depths of your life.

今日指導 七月二十九日

縱使在逆境中亦有希望存在.
事實上, 只有在經歷逆境的考驗時, 希望才真正地得以鞏固.

Hope exists even in the midst of adversity.
In fact, only when you undergo the ordeals of adversity will your hope be truly fortified.
Hope without ordeal is often nothing more than fleeting, idealistic dreams.

今日指導 七月二十七日

受日蓮大聖人稱讚是最高的榮譽, 也是幸福的根源, 而受愚者稱譽是最不值得尊敬的事.
你是否應得到日蓮大聖人的稱讚, 則關係到你的信心本質.

今日指導 七月二十四日

時間是平均地分配給每一個人的.

Time is given equally to everyone.
Therefore, being able to build a life of glory, victory and happiness depends on whether you spend your time meaningfully and free of regret.

今日指導 七月二十三日

信心本身是無形的.
可是信心必會以有行的語言和行動顯現出來.
從而大大地影響環境.
同時, 無論什情况, 你非勝即敗.
身為佛教徒, 你必須在每一次的奮鬥中勝利.
持着御本尊的信心能使你做到這點.

Faith itself is invisible.
However, faith is bound to manifest in a tangible form as words ans deeds, thereby greatly affecting the environment.
At the same time, no matter what circumstance you face, you either win or lose.
As a Buddhist, you must win each struggle in which you are engaged.
And faith in the Gohonzon enables you to do so.

今日指導 七月二十二日

People have different missions to fulfill and different places where they must live to fulfil them.

Through faith, you can transform the land where you live into a land of victory and happiness.

我們是佛教徒, 也是平民及社會的一份子.
所以, 我們要努力做個優秀公民, 對社會作出的貢獻要比其他人來的多.

因此, 為了人民及實現和平, 我們應在余暇致力於廣宣流布的活動和本門佛法的宣弘.
最重要的是要具有深厚的使命感.

We are Buddhist, but we are also ordinary citizen and members of society.
So, we strive to be excellent citizens who contribute to society more than others.
However, as Buddhists, our most fundamental understanding should be that we are followers of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
As such, we should dedicate ourselves in our spare time to kosen-rufu activities and to the propagation of true Buddhism, in order to realise peace and for the sake of people.
The important thing is to have a deep sense of mission.

今日指導 六月二十八日

在現代社會的嚴酷現實中, 只求過着普通的生活, 是不能令你轉換惡業的.

給予我們這般強大力量的就是妙法.

Simply trying to lead a normal life amid the severe realities of modern society will not enable you to change your negative karma.

它令你顯現最喜悅, 最有沖勁的生命境界.
由於天天唱誦這偉大的題目, 我們就能活得朝氣蓬勃.
因此, 無論如何, 我們都應自然地過着充滿青春活力的生活.

The gosho states, "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys."
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the fundamental law that moves the universe.
It enables you to reveal the most joyful, dynamic condition of life.
Because we chant this great daimoku everyday, we can always live with youthful vitality.
Therefore, we should naturally live our lives youthfully, no matter what.

今日指導 六月十二日

今日, 與其渡過一個看似美好的放縱生活, 你應該在佛道修行的路上流着汗, 辛勞地工作, 以便在明日過一個充滿自信的人生.

Today, rather than leading a seemingly pleasurable life of self-indulgence, you should toil, bathed in sweat, along the road of Buddhist practice, so that tomorrow you can lead a life filled with confidence.

今日指導 六月十一日

歸根到底, 幸與不幸在於個人奧底的一念而非他處.
以佛法深遠的觀點來看, 向着御本尊繼續地唱誦題目的堅強一念, 將成為一切變化的泉源.
換言之, 持續唱題的堅強一念是改善任何處境之鑰.

All in all, happiness and unhappiness lie nowhere but within one's deep-seated ichinen.
When viewed form the profound perspective of Buddhism, one's strong ichinen in continually chanting daimoku to the Gohonzon will become the source of all change.
In other words, your strong ichinen to continue chanting is the key to changing any situation for the better.

今日指導 六月十日

不間斷地向着御本尊唱題將在生命中累積永恆的福運和確立起永恆的喜悅感.
換句話說, 通過佛道修行, 你可以創造通往不崩潰幸福的基本因緣.
因此, 絕對不可放棄信心.

One who continues to chant abundant daimoku to the Gohonzon will accumulate eternal good fortune and establish an everlasting condition of joy within his life.
In other words, through Buddhist practice, you can create the fundamental cause which leads to indestructible happiness.
Therefore, you must absolutely never abandon your faith.

今日指導 六月九日

在持續信心方面, 我們要小心避免犯上慢心, 虛偽或高傲的態度.
真正的信心是一心向御本尊持續勤行與唱題的修行, 以精進不虛之心向前進.

In maintaining faith, we must be careful to avoid such attitude as haughtiness, pretension or conceit.
True faith is to pray single-mindedly to the Gohonzon, continue the practice of gongyo and daimoku and forge ahead without affectation.

今日指導 六月八日

即使是萬年的黑暗洞窟也會在明燈帶進時大放光明.
只有信心的修行才能點燃內心幸福的火焰.

Even a cave that has been in total darkness for millions of years will become brightly illuminated the moment a light is brought inside.
Only your practice of faith can ignite the flame of happiness within your heart.

今日指導 六月七日

我們很幸運能受持御本尊.
我們有轉換宿命的信心, 並且唱誦題目--大歡喜的泉源.
御書說:"南無妙法蓮華經是歡喜中的大歡喜."
因此, 當我們向着御本尊唱題目, 我們能夠將生命中的大歡喜湧現出來時, 我們能夠解決一切的苦惱與不幸.

We are fortune enough to embrace the Gohonzon.
We have faith, which enables us to change our destiny, and we chant daimoku, the source of tremendous joy.
The gosho states, "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest joy of all joys." In this sense, as we can resolve all of our problems and unhappiness.

今日指導 六月六日

在日常生活, 尤其是在錢財方面不負責任的人, 絕對不會是信心強者.
緊記着這點, 並實踐"信心即生活"的原理.

Those irresponsible in their daily lives--especially in regard to money--are never individuals of strong faith.
Bear this in mind and uphold the principle of "faith equals daily life".

今日指導 六月五日

無論你的境況如何, 信心的一念使你打開內心的幸福宮殿並建立一個在各方面都很充實的人生.
這是信心與佛道修行的目的.
對御本尊與廣宣流布的達成所持的堅強一念, 將打開你的生命的每一層面.

No matter what your circumstance, it is your ichinen of faith that enables you to open the palace of happiness that exists within you and establish a life that is fulfilled in every respect.
This is the purpose of faith and Buddhist practice.
Your powerful ichinen directed towards the Gohonzon and the accomplishment of kosen-rufu will cause every aspect of your life to unfold.

今日指導 六月四日

若缺乏信心, 世俗的苦惱將增加不幸的因.
受持妙法能轉換根本的苦惱而至成佛.
這些根本的苦惱將成為宿命完全改變, 步向成佛大道與完美人格的力量.
這正是信心的偉大.

Without faith, worldly sufferings function to increase the causes which lead to unhappiness.
Embracing Myoho allows one to transform fundamental sufferings, or earthly desires, into enlightenment.
These fundamental sufferings then become the power which enables one to undergo a complete change of destiny, and travel towards the great path of enlightenment and perfected character.
This is the greatness of faith.

今日指導 六月三日

一個人經常給予他人勇氣和希望的人是偉大的.
我們必須確保熱情與確信在我們的生命中燃燒, 以便為所遇見的每一個人帶來勇氣與希望.
由此, 我們便能成為真正的領導者.

One who can always give courage and hope to others is great.
To bring courage and hope to each person we meet, we must make sure that passion and conviction burn bright in our lives.
Thus we will become true leaders.

今日指導 六月二日

當某國家內唱題的人數增加時, 這個國家可說是處於朝向實現立正安國, 即是通過宣弘本門佛法以"安國"的道路上.
當然, 一個國家要和平, 其鄰國也必須和平.
當每一個國家都領悟到"立正安國"的原理時, 真正的世界和平方可實現.

When the number of people in a particular who chant daimoku grows, it can be said that the nation is on a course towards realising rissho ankoku, or securing the peace of the land through propagation of true Buddhism.
Of course, for one country to be at peace, its neighbouring countries must also be at peace.
True world peace can be established when each individual nation realise this principle of rissho ankoku.

今日指導 六月一日

"寂光土"不在他處, 它就在你現處之地, 它存在於本着信心, 無論會發生什麼事都宣弘真正的佛教教義的堅忍修行中.
它存在於向痛苦挑戰並加以克服的一念中.

The "Buddha land" exists nowhere but where you are right now.
It is to be found in one's enduring practice, based on faith, to spread the true teachings of Buddhism no matter what might happen.
It is within one's ichinen to challenge and overcome suffering.

今日指導 五月三十一日

無論你目前的生活環境如何困難或幸福, 這不過是你生命中的其中一面罷了.
佛法所觀乃事物真實的一面, 它着眼於生命的整體, 尤其是決定人生成敗的生命末章的結果.

No matter how difficult or how fortunate the circumstances in which you may presently live, this is only one aspect of your life.
Viewing things as they truly are, Buddhism focuses on one's life taken as a whole and, in particular, on the outcome of its final chapter in determining its success or failure.

今日指導 五月三十日

當我們將自己奉獻於自行化他的修行時, 除了受持御本尊與一心唱題外, 就無其他的方法可以築起跨越三世的真正幸福的永恆境界了.

There is no other way to build an eternal condition of true happiness that spans the three existences of past, present and future than to embrace the Gohonzon and chant daimoku wholeheartedly, as we devote ourselves to practise for ourselves and for others.

今日指導 五月二十九日

信心退轉是因為受制於自身的短淺眼光, 膚淺, 增上慢, 怨嫉或自私的慾望而起的.
無論你目前的信心有多強盛, 如果你中途退轉的話, 就不能說你曾有真正的信心.

A person stops practising because he is controlled by his own narrow-mindedness, shallow attachment, arrogance, ill feelings towards other believers or selfish desire.
No matter how strong your faith may appear to be now, if you discard it at some point in your life, your faith cannot be said to have been true.

今日指導 五月二十八日

你日日為折伏而努力, 在許許多多的障礙和困難中掙扎並為廣宣流布挺身而出, 的確是擁有遠大的使命, 必可稱為佛的使者.

You who exert yourselves in the daily practice of shakubuku, struggle amid many obstacles and difficulties and extend yourselves for the sake of kosen-rufu, truly possess a profound mission and must certainly be called emissaries of the Buddha.

今日指導 五月二十七日

櫻花樹在春天美麗地綻放花朵, 吐露着芬芳.
同樣地, 人類也必須盡可能讓自己的生命如櫻花般盛放, 發揮出真實的潛能.
在最基本的層次上使之成為可能的除了對廣宣流布的深厚使命感與責任感外, 別無他徑.

Cherry trees blossom beautifully, adorning themselves with colour and fragrance in the Spring.
Likewise, human beings must allow their lives to blossom, expressing their true potential to the fullest extent.
What makes this possible on a most fundamental level is nothing other than a profound sense of mission and responsibility for kosen-rufu.

今日指導 五月二十六日

障礙必定會膸着入信日蓮大聖人的佛法而來.
切記這就是你向幸福跨進一大步的時機.

Faith in the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin is sure to be accompanied by obstacles.
Remember, it is at such times that you can take a great leap towards your happiness.

今日指導 五月二十五日

勤行是實踐信心的根本和基礎.
如果一直以來都不間斷地實踐勤行, 一旦停止作勤行的話----舉一個容易理解的例子----就好比電流中斷一樣.
即使擁有獨一本門的御本尊, 如果沒有實踐勤行, 也沒法得到任何功德.

Gongyo is the basis and foundation of the practice of faith.
If one who has practised gongyo regularly up till now should stop doing it, it is ----to give a readily understandable example----like switching off an electric current.
Even though one has the Gohonzon, which is absolute, without the practice of gongyo, he can gain no benefit.

今日指導 五月二十四日

最重要的是自身能築起多深, 多純的生命境涯.
充滿苦惱與問題的現實絕不會消失.
不是被它們影響而陷入苦海, 便是戰勝它們並建立起幸福之山.

What really matters is how deep and pure a condition of life you can establish.
The reality of problems and troubles will never disappear.
One can either be influence by them and sink into the great sea of suffering, or overcome them and build a mountain of happiness.

今日指導 五月二十三日

在吸引鐵或鋼的能力上, 磁鐵與鐵有很大的差別.
同樣地, 在信受御本尊的人當中, 每個人所得到的功德, 自然會因個人信心的強弱而有所差別.

A magnet and a piece of iron which has not been magnetised differ greatly in their ability to attract other pieces of iron or steel.
In a similar way, even among those who embrace faith in the Gohonzon, the benefit one receives will naturally differ according to the strength of one's faith.

今日指導 五月二十二日

永遠記住, 若能突破那些似乎限制着你的圍牆, 那麼閃亮的榮耀將會等着你.

Always bear in mind that a shining glory awaits when you are able to break through the walls which may seem to confine you.

今日指導 五月二十一日

當我們以耐心勇敢地行動, 並且以異體同心的精神向御本尊祈求時, 沒有障礙是能持久的, 重要的是我們必須對這一點抱着絕對的確信.

No obstacles can stand for long when act with patience and courage and when we pray to the Gohonzon in the spirit of itai doshin (many in body, one in mind).
The important point for us is to have absolute conviction in this.

今日指導 五月二十日

無論是苦, 是樂, 甚至是面臨絕路, 只要全心全意地唱題, 無限的希望自然會由生命內奧湧現出來.

Whether in suffering or in joy, even in the face of an insurmountable deadlock, if one continues to chant daimoku wholehaertedly, then tremendous hope will naturally well up from within.

今日指導 五月十九日

南無妙法蓮華經是淨化一切生命的根本法則.
這有如一種大良藥.
正如"星星之火, 可以燎原"的道理, 當向着御本尊作勤行與唱題時, 即使是深深根植于生命中的罪障也會在南無妙法蓮華經的"大風"與妙法的"火焰"中消滅無遺.

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the fundamental law that purifies every aspect of one's life.
It is like an excellent medicine.
Just as a single match can ignite a fire that spreads limitlessly through a plain of grass, when one does gongyo and chants daimoku before the Gohonzon, even the deeply entrenched karmic causes of past slander will be expelled before the "great wind" of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and the "flame" of Myoho.

今日指導 五月十八日

我們乃血肉之軀, 自然會疲倦或生病.
不過, 切切不可讓心神因此而繼續晦暗或沈重.
通過解決一切痛苦的廣闊信心世界的參與, 我希望你們將一切轉換得更好.

Because we are flesh and blood, we naturally get tired or fall ill from time to time.
However, we must not allow our spirits to be continually dark or heavy on that account.
I hope that, through your participation in the vast world of the faith that opens a solution to such sufferings, you will transform all situation for the better.

今日指導 五月十七日

御本尊與自己源遠流長的連系是信心的根本姿勢.
一切都應由此立場觀察.
然而, 如果連這一點也動搖的話, 一切將以混淆不清之態出現.

A profound connection between the Gohonzon and oneself is the basic posture of faith.
All we have to do is perceive everything form this standpoint.
However, if one is shaken on this single point, then everything will appear to him in a distorted way.

今日指導 五月十六日

信心是確信, 而確信是力量與希望.
缺乏確信的人將會受惡緣動搖, 被消極的批評擊倒.
向時勢妥協會使自己遠離信心.

Faith is confidence, and confidence means strength and hope.
A person who lacks confidence will tend to be swayed by devilish influences and be defeated by negative criticism.
Compromising with the trend of the times, he will estrange himself from the depths of faith.

今日指導 五月十五日

在繼續生活當兒, 你應該知道與其談論過去的宿業, 不如向御本尊, 這大功德的泉源勇敢地唱誦題目更具有價值.
這樣的生活方式將使你獲得他人的信賴, 從而開拓向廣宣流布的道路.

You should know that rather than talking about your past karma, it is hundreds of times to the Gohonzon, the source of tremendous benefit, as you continue to live your life.
Living in such a way will enable you to gain the confidence ans understanding of others, thereby opening the way towards kosen-rufu.

今日指導 五月十四日

欲將過去的罪障消滅, 確立未來幸福的人生, 並在現實生活中享有大功德, 我們就非實踐勤行不可.

To eradicate bad karma from the past, establish a life of good fortune in the future, and enjoy great benefit amid the realities of daily life, we must carry out the practice of gongyo.

今日指導 五月十三日

宿業苦, 憂傷與悲哀常在生命中留下污迹並沉澱其中, 形成一種愈益苦惱的傾向性.
如果胸中的黃金被污泥包住就無法看出其光芒.
然而通過信心, 可去除業苦的污泥, 使自身的佛界發出光輝.

Karmic suffering, grief and sorrow ordinarily leave their stains and residue in the mind, creating a tendency towards further anguish.
If the gold in one's heart is encased in mud, its radiance cannot be seen.
Through karmic suffering and allow the light of his inherent Buddhahood to shine forth.

今日指導 五月十二日

人生可謂一場與病魔間的長期戰鬥.
在人生的途中被病痛擊倒是很不幸的.
人生是一段克服病痛, 保持健康與長壽的掙扎.
這個根本的力量來自妙法與我們對妙法的信心.

Life must be called a perpetual battle with the demon of sickness.
It is miserable to be stuck down halfway through life by the suffering of illness.
Life is a struggle to surmount illness, to be healthy ans live long.
The fundamental power that makes this possible is the Mystic Law, and our faith in it.
